As expected, Shard's second game in the Big City Player's rematch ended just as it had started—with 10 copper coins, totaling 25 copper coins. This time, he didn't draw any from the Genesis series but unexpectedly drew a Demon Card.
The four gentlemen who lost to him were regretful, yet all expressed at the end that Shard had played well. Mr. Vigil Cameron, who had ties to Carsonrick, showed great interest in Shard, not only wanting to invite him to play cards sometime but also seeking a private conversation with him after the game had ended.
Shard, of course, politely declined.
He could tell that Mr. Cameron wanted to be alone with him and understood that the man probably thought he was the "Grey Hawk" after seeing Genesis: Silver Moon. Even if driven by the money to complete the task, Shard could not possibly engage in such sensitive discussions here.
